I almost didn't get a post up today. I slept until 10:30, after not sleeping well during the night. My foot continues to hurt.
I wish I had a "beautiful" message today, but I don't. The day was busy and a little traumatic. We went to visit my mom today. On the way home, my 12 yr old son, Hayden had a seizure in the car. This is the 2nd time this has happened. It was so scary. He's okay now. We have just been enjoying our time as a family for the rest of the day. I don't want to take my eyes off of Hayden.
If you are reading this, could you please say a prayer for Hayden? I'll be taking him to the doctor tomorrow.
On a different note, I plan to get on track big time tomorrow. I mean really big time. All of your comments and sharing have me motivated. I want to be in great health. For me, for my family, and especially for my God.
Love,
Melissa

Yes, You Are Beautiful
Hello and welcome! Do you believe that you are truly beautiful? I have to admit, I have struggled with believing that my whole life. That's because I have most often determined my beauty and self worth based on my weight, appearance, and how many compliments I get on how I look. The truth is, I am beautiful. And so are you! This blog is here to bring encouragement, share ideas, confess struggles, and shed light on the truth of being beautiful and healthy. God gave us each an incredible gift...LIFE! How we use it is up to us. I hope you'll join me on this journey and together we can feel truly beautiful and be our best...mind, body, and spirit!
Smiles,
Melissa Taylor:)

How Am I Doing This Week?
This week has been great. The one thing I've made sure of is that I've been sleeping enough each night. I've actually been in bed by 10 pm each night this week! I've gotten up and exercised first thing. And I've been more productive during the day, eating healthy and getting a lot accomplished at home. Good deal!
Disclaimer
This blog is dedicated to the glory of God. My every intention is that anyone who visits here will grow in their relationship with the Lord and be empowered knowing He created us all with a beautiful purpose in mind. Too many women, including myself, struggle with actually believing that we matter. Some of us have negative tapes that play constantly in our heads telling us that we are no good, damaged, unworthy, ugly, too fat, too skinny, tainted, unable, etc and we are left feeling discontent, ashamed, and unaccepted. Anything I place on this blog or write about here is intended to promote a balance of the mind/body/spirit connection. First, we need to be right with Jesus. Then we need to take care of our minds and bodies the best we can. God created us and gave us life. It's up to us how we live it.
With all that said, the links provided here are just suggestions of places you can visit that may assist you in your venture for overall good health. I do not personally endorse any of these (except the 2 links from Proverbs 31) and do not promote the personal beliefs of the doctors, staff, or other people asscociated with these organizations. I do not know the religious backgrounds of all those I have posted here.
I am a Christian. I believe in Jesus. That's me. All are welcome here. I just hope to bring encouragement to you where you are.

I am praying.
No apologies necessary among bloggy friends.
Dear Father, I lift Hayden to You right now. Lord, You are the Great Physician and You know us intimately. I pray that You will touch this little boys life and restore him. Guide the Dr's. Give them wisdom. Be with Melissa and be her strength and peace. Touch her life as well, as she is physically exhausted and in pain. Lord, You tell us to come to You, all who are weary and burdened and You will give us rest. Father, I am claiming this promise for Melissa and her family. Surround them with You love and presence. Lord, I believe that You are ready, willing and completely able. Thank You for holding Melissa and her family in the palm of Your hand....there is no better place to be. "May the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way." 2 Thess 3:16
In Your Name I pray, Amen.
Love & prayers,
Joy
Melissa,
Hugs to you and your Hayden! I will be praying for you both!!

Melissa,
I am glad you were able to enjoy the day with your family. We did the same today and it was such a special day. I am leaving to take a "road trip" with my college daughter this afternoon, just the two of us! I am so excited but have told her about this blog and while we are away she will catch up and start reading it as well.
Prayers for you & Hayden today.
Blessings,
Margaret
I'm praying.
